Chapter 4434
"Brother-in-law, Master."
Just then, they heard Queenie's voice from the outside.
Darryl and Celine were startled.
The kid sure picked the right time to return.
Darryl was about to call out to Queenie to ask her to return slightly later, but it was too late.
"Master-"
Queenie strolled into the cave leisurely. She stopped short at the sight that greeted her.
Darryl stood at the side, shirtless, with an awkward expression. Her master, Celine, was wearing his clothes.
Her face also seemed a little flushed.
Queenie felt her head buzz as her own face flushed as well.
Had her brother-in-law and her master been doing it?
They sure moved pretty quickly.
"Queenie!"
Celine's expression was the picture of embarrassment. Before Queenie could ask anything,
she scrambled to explain, "It's not what it looks like. I was about to enter a psychotic
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbreak, and the Heart Devil Flame scorched my clothes off. That's why your brother-in-law
gave me his clothes."
Celine was pretty desperate.
Sure enough, the worst of her nightmares had come true.
She was caught in an extremely embarrassing scene. How humiliating!
Then, Darryl piped up as well. "Yes, we didn't do anything! Don't overthink this, Young
Lady."
Psychotic break?
Queenie paused briefly before her face creased into a smile. "I understand,
I understand. I’ll just pretend I didn't see anything."
Queenie cast a meaningful look at Darryl. In a low voice, she said," Congratulations,
Brother-in-law. I guess we'd better get going? I'll wait for you guys outside." 1
Queenie got out hurriedly, not waiting for the two of them to respond.
She was certain the two of them had done the deed. However, they must have been too
embarrassed to admit it. So, they made up the whole story about the psychotic break.
Darryl did not know whether to cry or laugh.
There was no way he could talk out of that.
Celine was embarrassed. She looked close to tears as she glared at Darryl.
"This is all your fault!"
"How is this my fault?"
"If it had not been for you, I would not have entered that psychotic break."
"But I didn’t interrupt you when you were cultivating!"
"Whatever, it's still your fault."
After bickering for a short while, Celine calmed down. Then, she and Darryl made their
way out of the cave.
"Brother-in-law, Master!"
Once they were outside, Queenie came up to them with a smile. She glanced at Celine before she looked at
Darryl. "Where are we off to next?"
Darryl took a deep breath and looked around him. "If my memory serves me correctly, we should get through
those mountains, walk for about ten kilometers, and we'll be at the Thunder Fire Gate. The keeper,
Cumulonimbus Swae, owes me a favor from years ago. Let's head there."
Darryl glanced at Celine. He said, "Your master just entered a psychotic break. There's no way she can cultivate
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher powers in a short amount of time. We'll need to go harvesting for some treasures to make a pill for her, which
we'll have to ask for from Cumulonimbus."
Darryl looked confident.
He had not met Cumulonimbus many times, but they had fought together many years ago when the Raksasa
tribe invaded the Nine Mainland. Yet, despite their few interactions, Darryl was sure that Cumulonimbus was the
type of person who would repay the kindness bestowed upon him tenfold.
Celine's face remained neutral. That probably meant she was fine with the plan.
Darryl was right. She was already weak from being held captive in the Maple Division, and then she had entered
a psychotic break. She would need a pill to recover.
Queenie chuckled as she cast a smug glance at Darryl. "You are so nice to my master, Brother-in-law!"
Celine shoved her lightly. "What are you going on about?"
Since her master was about to get angry, Queenie bowed her head meekly and kept silent.
Darryl snorted helplessly but did not explain any further. He knew Queenie had already made up her mind
regarding what she saw, and he did not
wish to try too hard to change her mind.
A few minutes later, Darryl geared upto head in the direction of the Thunder Fire Gate.
